I doubt his target market is HN users. He wants the youngest generation to get VR and grow up using it. Minecraft, Roblox, all the clones ... many billions of dollars. If you own the platform, even more. Then, when they hit adulthood, they are natives in the technology.

But Minecraft is not a VR - that's kinda the point. Minecraft never tried to be a clone of our reality, but in computer and under somebody's control. SecondLife tried that and failed. Minecraft built a completely different reality, with different laws - that's what worked. > Then, when they hit adulthood, they are natives in the technology. That is kinda circular argument. What's the use of being native of technology that nobody is actually using for anything interesting? At least in Minecraft you can learn a living on Youtube maybe...
